Film + Faith blog-a-thon

Please read, enjoy, comment, and discuss the following post that have been submitted for the Film + Faith blog-a-thon hosted here on Strange Culture. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. I think this project has been a great success. I've enjoyed reading each of your post, and hope you find time to read through many of these unique and different perspectives and thoughts.

Hey there,Last week at Spout, we devoted the entire episode of our podcast to issues of spirituality in film. The first segment is about spiritual experiences with on-religious films; the second segment investigates the supposed "curse" surrounding actresses who have played Joan of Arc. Please check it out.thanks!Karina LongworthSpoutBlog

Great job, RC! I only wish I could have found time to participate, as I run a monthly DVD-screening and discussion group at a non-denominational street ministry in San Francisco's Tenderloin, and often screen films with religious themes (some past examples: King of Masks, Enlightenment Guaranteed, Wheel of Time, Harp of Burma, Groundhog Day, Three Kings, Divine Intervention, Jesus of Montreal, the Fisher King, Life of Brian, the Seventh Seal, Yes, Macario, Black Orpheus, Tokyo Godfathers, All That Heaven Allows, Underground Zero, Children of Men, etc...)

I just discovered this blog through a link somewhere else. Great stuff. I'm glad to see fellow travelers exploring issues related to theology and film.

You might be interested in a recent interview on my blog with Clive Marsh on this topic at Morehead's Musings, http://johnwmorehead.blogspot.com. And to really push the envelope I have a second blog which examines spirituality and pop culture in areas such as science fiction, Japanese anime, fantasy, and horror films at TheoFantastique, http://theofantastique.blogspot.com.

No, I don't deserve it.And there is nothing I can ever do to buy it.No amount of money I can donate,no deed righteous enough to save myself alone.I'm not worthy enough, on my own, to claim eternal life...

But I don't have to do anything --no incense to offer, no prayer schedules, not even going to church every sattarday --Because it has already been done for me.

That's how much Jesus loves me.He loves me more than my mom does.More than any girlfriend I could ever have.More than someone...

i read the Maul of America metaphor in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, it has a great story and a little bit fun. there always #3 example the three leading characters. i love the story of adventure and survival, thanks a lot.
